And I think to myself, "you paid $200, $400, etc for that? It's not prettier than my Normal ". So I can see where the confusion lies in what you say.
Okay so, I'm a n00b when it comes to breeding and morphs and such things, but even I can usually tell after looking at only a couple pics the difference between normals and even really subtle morphs. To use the ones you listed as examples, cinnys are a rich brown, and often have alien heads that form rings which don't connect to the belly, and granites look... pixelated? Like the alien heads are low res jpegs with artifacts, lol.

The thing with each of these morphs is that yeah, they probably started out as being considered "special looking normals" too. But someone who had a better idea of what they're doing than this guy went through the effort to prove them out as distinct genes. When paired to other known morphs, they keep some sort of that same distinction with them and affect how the offspring come out. Pair up a normal with other morphs and... all you're gonna get are normals and that morph (for dom or co-com) or het normals (for recessive). Judging by his other post, the OP seems to think he has some sort of holy grail of het normals, "because it looks different" and wants to stick it with his other normal to get amazing $$$ babies? But that just isn't likely to happen.
